Everyday Decorating - Hardcover

by Jeffrey Bilhuber (Author), Jacqueline Terrebonne (Author)

Jeffrey Bilhuber, one of the most sought-after voices in interior design, offers practical advice and easy-to-follow tips that inspire and empower the reader to make enlightened design decisions.

Jeffrey Bilhuber has created the ultimate decorating handbook for those who love to go to Instagram or Pinterest for inspiration and design knowledge. Kicking aside the standard interior decorator format of showcasing work house by house, the book is divided into chapters that illustrate how to make your home more comfortable, happy, colorful, personal, lighter and brighter, sexy, charming, and cozy. Using iconic images spanning the breadth of his illustrious career, each page sings with a practical takeaway that leaves the reader thinking, "Well, I never thought of it like that."

Bilhuber's classically informed point of view mixed with his tell-it-like-it-is humor make for memorable tips that will prove valuable the next time you're shopping for a sofa, making a bed, or considering paint colors. From sleek city townhouses to rambling country manors, he's found that ultimately all clients have the same goals regardless of interests, budget, or location. Those clients have included bold-face names like Anna Wintour, Iman, Mariska Hargitay, and Elsa Peretti. And the same advice he shared with them, he now shares with you.
